John Roughton Ministries
Taking that same spirit of faith to the nations
The Man
The Mission
John and Zhepi Roughton established Spirit of Faith Church in 1994 in Nagaland, India. It was the first non-denominational, word of faith church in the state and one of the first in the entire region.
From a Sunday with 8 people present in a small rented room, Spirit of Faith Church has grown to an auditorium that can seat over a thousand, a campus that includes a four-story dormitory, classrooms, a guesthouse, an office, and a commercial kitchen.
In 2006, John established Spirit of Faith Bible School, a short-term intensive training course. Nearly two thousand students have graduated so far. Many have started churches and other ministries. Many more are serving in their local church.
In addition, John & Zhepi oversee four branch churches.
In 2024, after 30 years of living in India, John was blacklisted and not permitted to enter the country because of his ministry. However, the work of God continues even in his absence.
John is currently serving God in a traveling ministry in America and in other nations as the doors open.
